Nintendo Switch 2

The first Nintendo game confirmed for the Switch 2 is the new Mario Kart, which was introduced at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. Named Mario Kart World, the game features a variety of vehicles, power-ups that transform racers, grinding, and wall-running.

There will be a cheaper upgrade option for those who own the Switch 1 version.

This Week In Grand Theft Auto Online
The Cayo Perico Heist Week

Take on the Cayo Perico heist to earn the Panther Statue along with double rewards

Increased Rewards for Buried Stashes, Cayo Perico Motor Wars, and Additional Activities

 

Team up with friendly outlaw submariner, Pavel, to set your periscope’s sights on El Rubio’s island fortress. Plot your approach down to the last detail and escape the Caribbean with a haul of valuables in tow in The Cayo Perico Heist.

It is to be expected that El Rubio’s estate conceals the valuable possessions of an eccentric collector. During your initial visit to the island this week, you are assured to encounter the Panther Statue as the Primary Target. Furthermore, completing The Cayo Perico Heist once will fulfill the requirements for the Weekly Challenge, awarding you both the Strickler Hat and GTA$100,000, thereby recognizing your accomplishment with both a distinctive item and a monetary prize.  

Participate in Cayo Perico Motor Wars, where up to four teams parachute into progressively smaller play zones. Utilise a combination of weaponry and vehicles to secure designated perimeters or employ strategic positioning to remain the last participant standing as opposing teams are eliminated. Access the event by joining the Cayo Perico Series via the map marker or Quick Join feature on your iFruit device to earn Double Rewards through November 12th. Alternatively, you may opt to search for Buried Stashes, which also offer Double Rewards this week. Please note, procuring a Metal Detector in Los Santos is required; locate it by finding a washed-up partygoer near bodies of water.  

To undertake an operation against El Rubio, it is necessary to utilize a pressurized submersible capable of descending deep into the Pacific Ocean. It is recommended to obtain the decommissioned submarine RUNE Kosatka, which is currently offered at a 40% discount from Warstock this week.
